How To Play

Fantasy Punter is a new horse racing competition from Twist Digital Media (creators of GG.COM) allowing you to pick your own stable of horses and follow them across the competition period.

How To Play

• The objective of Fantasy Punter is simple. Select your own stable of horses and follow them across the period of the competition.
• Each time one of your horses runs, if it wins or is placed (2nd or 3rd) you gain points (SP* points for a win, ¼ SP points for a place).
• At the end of the competition, the player with the most points wins.

Competition Period

• Fantasy Punter runs between 17th June 2008 (the first day of the Royal Ascot Festival) and midnight on the 31st October (our notional end to the English Flat racing season).

Prize

• Our sponsor, Betfair, has provided some great prizes for this competition.
  • The winner will receive £1,000 into their Betfair account.
  • At the end of each month, the player with the highest positive movement in points will receive £100 into their Betfair account.
  • In order to claim a prize you'll need a Betfair account which can be opened here.
  • To receive a prize, you must have opened a Betfair Account by a) the end of the last day of the month for monthly prizes, and b) the end of the final day of the competition for the overall prize. Failure to have an opened Betfair account will mean forfeiture of prize, which will pass to the next eligible candidate.

Method of Play

• Once you are registered and logged in, you will be prompted to select your ten horses to follow. If you get distracted, click view stable:
  • In the box provided, start to type in the name of the horse you want to add and probable matches begin to appear in a list.
  • Select the horse you want on the list and click "Add to Stable"
  • Your selected horse is now added to your stable.
  • Once selected, clicking the name of the horse opens up a window with more details on that horse.
  • If you wish to remove a horse, click the [X Remove] icon to the left of its name.
  • Repeat until you have selected ten horses.
  • Confirm your stable by clicking "Save Selections"
• A stable must be selected in one visit to the Fantasy Punter site. A partial stable can not be submitted.
• Each time one of your horses runs, on the basis of a one point level stake, you pick up the SP points returned for a win.
• A non-runner is counted as void.
• A horse which runs, but does not win loses you a point.
• The competition is played accepting that in every case the winning horse was first past the post, regardless of later rulings.

Swapping Selections

• During the season you may swap up to three of the horses in your stable.
• Points gained by a horse which is swapped are retained.
• A new horse will only start earning you points from the date it is selected

Alerts

• Against each horse in your stable, you will see a tick box under a heading which says "Alert".
• When this box is checked you will be sent an email, to your registered email address, each morning whenever that horse has a race.
• Unchecking the box will cease further emails.
• All alert emails will stop upon conclusion of the competition.
